$1,500 DONATED TO FWMA
Special to The Sun
Benefit Trivia at the Crooked River Grill began in February of 2021, with the intention of partnering with local community organizations and raising funds and awareness for their causes. Trivia costs just $1 per person, with the cash jackpot going to the winning team, which they can either keep or donate to the community partner. St James Bay then matches the donations at the end of the 3 month period, and donates the full amount to the organization. Personal donations are matched as well as the contributions from each week’s game. Previous community partners include the Franklin County Humane Society, Franklin Food (Farm Share), the Franklin County Senior Center, the Accelerated Reader Store at Franklin County Schools, Apalachicola Riverkeepers, the Carrabelle Artists Association, the ToyMakers of Franklin County, and the Florida Wild Mammal Association. Over $8500 in donations have been made since benefit trivia began. Our current community partner is the Carrabelle History Museum.
